Underwater portrait of a crocodile ;-)
This may seem strange but I love crocodiles. They are fascinating animals, unloved and not valued at their true value.

It's called "Face to Face: overcoming fear with the crocodiles".

It's a photo of a crocodile underwater in a cenote at night. He's close to a photographer who does scuba diving.
